Every summer the incendiary CBS Sports columnist Pete Prisco comes out with his overrated/underrated list. He picks a candidate in each category from every NFL team.

For the Giants, history shows that Prisco usually picks one of their biggest name defensive players as their most overrated player. In 2011 and '12, it was safety Antrel Rolle. In 2013, it was defensive end Justin Tuck.

If history is any sort of indicator, expect a big season from Kiwanuka. Rolle has perhaps been the Giants' steadiest player the past two seasons and Tuck had 11 sacks and was dominant against the run last season.

Right now, however, not many Giants fans would likely argue with Prisco's assessment of Kiwanuka as overrated. Kiwanuka's been maddeningly inconsistent and, despite seven sacks last season, wasn't much of a factor against the run.

Giants fans likely wouldn't contest Prisco's choice of cornerback Prince Amukamara as their most underrated player either. Amukamara is coming off a nice season where he more than held his own while tasked with the responsibility of being their No. 1 cornerback.

Here's Prisco's breakdown:

Overrated: DE Mathias Kiwanuka -- He had seven sacks, but he had far too many games where he didn't do enough. He's a former first-round pick who should be putting up better numbers.

Underrated: CB Prince Amukamara -- He was one of the few bright spots during a disappointing season for the Giants. Now he has to show he can do it again.

The Giants can only hope Prisco's overrated tag on Kiwanuka can be laughed at next year like it is now on Tuck. But they also hope that Amukamara has some more future success than Prisco's previous choices of underrated Giants.

Prisco had tight end Brandon Myers as their most underrated player last year. Myers was a disastrous signing for Big Blue. Prior to that, safety Kenny Phillips and wide receiver Hakeem Nicks were his underrated choices.

Nicks had his best season in 2011 before falling off the map. Phillips played just seven games in 2012 before his career ended because of injury. Not exactly the definition of underrated.
